"Postdoctoral Research Associate"

Full time, 2-year fixed term opportunity, located at the School of Mathematics and Statistics on the Camperdown Campus

Opportunity to contribute to research on hybrid numerical-exponential asymptotic methods and their applications at the University of Sydney

Base Salary, Academic level A $105,117 - $121,054 p.a + 17% superannuation

The School of Mathematics and Statistics is currently seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the development and application of hybrid numerical-asymptotic methods to nonlinear systems.

Your key responsibilities will be to:

• work on an ARC DP project aiming to develop of hybrid asymptotic methods based on exponential asymptotics and computational complex analysis
• apply these methods to applied nonlinear problems arising from water wave theory and nonlinear optics
• conduct research either independently or as part of a team
• contribute to journal publications and other academic outputs
• produce software implementations of the algorithms developed in this project.

The University values courage and creativity; openness and engagement; inclusion and diversity; and respect and integrity. As such, we see the importance of recruiting talent aligned to these values and are looking for a Postdoctoral Research Associate who has:

• a PhD in mathematics, applied mathematics, computational mathematics or a closely related discipline
• a strong background in asymptotic analysis, particularly including exponential asymptotics, resurgence, or asymptotics beyond-all-orders.
• a strong background in numerical analysis, particularly computational complex analysis
• an excellent track record of publishing high-quality papers in top-tier mathematics journals
• solid mathematical programming skills.

Applications (including a cover letter, CV, and any additional supporting documentation) can be submitted via the Apply button at the top of the page.
